It is said that you have to be tossed 100 times before you are a Cowboy. I have been working hard at getting the designation. Today, while trying to get Monte to go up a steep hill in deep snow, she refused about half way up, tried to turn and went over backwards. She landed partially on my right leg, but with the deep snow did not hurt me. The only thing hurt was my pride! Michelle was concerned and did not laugh. I think I would have just watching a horse and rider sliding and rolling down the hill. No damage done and a fantastic ride! We even saw a Cow and Calf Moose, which set the horses off again. Why horses hate Moose and Llamas is beyond me. Fortunately, I saw the moose first and warned Michelle.
The two pictures are after the ride when we were cooling down the horses. Monte is a good horse and is the one wearing the blanket. He got pretty wet due to the roll. Anyway, thanks for a great afternoon!
